Staff Report-
LITE Partners With Sheriff’s Office On Purchase Of Safe Visitor KioskLITE (Living in Transition Effectively) has partnered with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office on the purchase of a Safe Visitor Kiosk.
The implementation of the kiosk will provide accountability of everyone who enters or volunteers inside of the jail, according to a news release from the KCSO. The kiosk features a checking in/out function, has the ability to run reports on visitors and has real time tracking ability. These features will allow jail staff to track and monitor visitors at any given time, which provides for a safer facility.
Sheriff Jim Smith stated he is grateful for the partnership with Chris and Tammy Cotton and the LITE program on this project. Smith said he has a responsibility as sheriff to keep staff, visitors and inmates inside of the jail safe. Smith said anytime a volunteer is inside of the jail, they will be required to wear a name tag that is printed from the kiosk. This accountability will allow jail staff the ability to monitor what a volunteers business is or why they are inside of the jail.
Smith said, “Anytime I can implement a safety measure for our staff and the inmates inside of the jail, it’s a win.”
